AC Power Port

The AC power port is designed to allow an on-board charger to be quickly connected to an AC extension cord. The through-hull design allows the male AC plug from the charger to be attached to the back side of the Power Port and secured in place, so no cutting or splicing of wires is necessary. It includes a water-tight cover with gasket that protects the AC plug against corrosion.

Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price: $14.99

AC Plug Holder

The AC plug holder attaches to the inside of a boat’s battery compartment, providing a convenient location to secure the on-board charger AC plug when not in use. Prongs from the charger’s AC cord plug into the housing, holding it securely and preventing it from getting tangled with other wires or corroding due to lying in bilge water. The holder features integrated flanges for easy mounting.
